Flight Score
Departure
Reduce power to hold the correct climb speed from the start of the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, the aircraft was flown faster than the target climb speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the normal climb speed band during the climb
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 21L at Nellis Air Force Base (KLSV) and took off with a takeoff distance of 1,072 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 23 knots at 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 32,017 feet above sea level (asl) over Sunrise Manor, Nevada, after departing from Nellis Air Force Base.
The enroute climb phase of the flight saw the aircraft ascend from 2,829 feet asl to 32,017 feet asl, an increase of 29,188 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 12 miles north of the Music Mountain Air Ranch Airport (68AZ) in Hackberry, Arizona, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 32,231 feet asl to 24,082 feet asl, a decrease of 8,149 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles. This descent phase started 4 miles south of the Grand Canyon Caverns Airport (L37) in Peach Springs, Arizona. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south of Seligman, Arizona, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft's next descent phase began 6 miles east of Paulden, Arizona, and saw the aircraft descend from 23,536 feet asl to 11,430 feet asl, a decrease of 12,106 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles west of the Flagstaff Airport (KFLS) in Flagstaff, Arizona, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 9 miles northwest of the Flagstaff Airport (KFLS) and saw the aircraft descend from 11,165 feet asl to 8,258 feet asl, a decrease of 2,907 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at the Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport (KFLG) from the northeast, heading 224.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 21 at KFLG was characterized by a threshold speed that was excessively high at 148 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 286 meters. The touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 146 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 234 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,233 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took
The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 21 at KFLG Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 224.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,130 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 148 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision-making. Additionally, the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 146 knots, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's alignment or the aircraft's directional control during the approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 234°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,233 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Cessna Longitude's landing on runway 21 at KFLG Flagstaff Pulliam International Airport was successful, but there were some areas for improvement in terms of threshold speed, touchdown speed, and runway alignment.
